"I ran inside and saw many injured and I found one man's head
near the kitchen.

"I also found a leg and a man's body."

"It's a horrible scene," said Komang, a receptionist at the
Graha Asih Hospital, close to Jimbaran Bay. "Some people have had
their heads blown off."

Wayan Kresna said he witnessed the first bomb at a seafood
restaurant on Jimbaran beach. He counted at least two dead and said
many others were taken to hospital. "I helped lift up the bodies,"
he told a radio station. "There was blood everywhere."

Said Komang: "It's a horrible scene." "Some people have had
their heads blown off."

The father of one of the Australian victims of the 2002 Bali
bombings condemned the latest round of attacks on the Indonesian
resort island as "revolting".

Brian Deegan, whose 21-year-old son Josh died in the October 12,
2002 nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, including 88
Australians, said that he had been grimly awaiting the third
anniversary of his son's death.

"It's just devastating," he said from Adelaide early today.

"I know now that there are other dads out there and mums that
are just going to join the queue and I just find this revolting. I
feel so sorry for them and I feel so despondent for them. It's just
so needless, it's just so pointless," he said, his voice
cracking.

"No one can seem to get into that area to see what's going on,"
Hale said.

"I've spoken to people who were roughly in that area at the time
and they didn't hear anything.

"So we can only assume that although the explosions appear to
have claimed lives and injured a lot of people, they weren't of the
mammoth proportions of the Bali bombings in 2002 which were heard
all across town.

"Although word of these explosions has spread by word of mouth
very quickly.

"Apart from that, we don't know much.

"The police aren't saying anything. No one can get in contact
with them. . So it's all very sketchy at this point in time."

He said the Kuta blast scene, site of the Mata Hari department
store, is one of the busiest places in Kuta if not Bali at that
time of the week.

"It would have been just before closing time. The area out
around Jimburan Bay, especially on a Saturday night around this
time, is full of people going down there for a barbecue dinner.

"It's a very congested area, which is probably why we're seeing
the list of wounded so long.

Hale said local people were already concerned by the reported
discovery in a hotel of a bomb - with a letter attached to it - two
weeks ago.

"At first people thought it may have just been a hoax or
possibly even an extortion attempt. But with the letter in Arabic,
that put a different slant on it," he said

"I must admit, from that point on, I was actually extremely
concerned that maybe something else was just over the horizon."

The bombed Raja restaurant is in a bustling outdoor shopping
centre about 30 kilometres away from Jimbaran Bay.
